Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and BSM Physics (A Review)
Gautam Bhattacharyya
TL;DR
This review discusses the standard model Higgs mechanism, its limitations, and explores four BSM scenarios—supersymmetry, Little Higgs, Gauge-Higgs unification, and Higgsless models—focusing on electroweak symmetry breaking.
Contribution
It provides a comparative analysis of four BSM models emphasizing their approaches to electroweak symmetry breaking.
Findings
Highlights deficiencies of the standard model Higgs mechanism
Examines symmetry-based motivations for BSM theories
Summarizes key features of supersymmetry, Little Higgs, Gauge-Higgs unification, and Higgsless models
Abstract
In this talk, I shall first discuss the standard model Higgs mechanism and then highlight some of its deficiencies making a case for the need to go beyond the standard model (BSM). The BSM tour will be guided by symmetry arguments. I shall pick up four specific BSM scenarios, namely, supersymmetry, Little Higgs, Gauge-Higgs unification, and the Higgsless approach. The discussion will be confined mainly on their electroweak symmetry breaking aspects.
